Ingredients
Ingredients List:
Carrots
- 4-5 Organic Grown Fresh Carrots
- 1 tsp avocado oil
- 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp pine nuts, roughly chopped
Maple Tahini Drizzle
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 1 tbsp Coombs Family Farms Organic Maple Syrup
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Water to consistency
Preparation
- Preheat & Prep Heat the grill to medium heat, approximately 400°F. Trim and scrub the carrots, then slice them lengthwise in half. In a bowl, toss the carrot halves with avocado oil until evenly coated.
- Grill & Rest Place the carrots on the hot grill. Cook for 5–7 minutes until lightly charred on the first side. Flip the carrots and continue grilling until they are cooked through and charred on the second side, approximately 3–5 minutes. Remove from the grill and allow the carrots to rest for 3–5 minutes.
- Make the Maple Tahini While the carrots are grilling and resting, prepare the maple tahini drizzle. In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the maple tahini, adding water gradually until the desired consistency is achieved (smooth and pourable).
- Garnish and Serve! Arrange the rested grilled carrots on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the maple tahini. Sprinkle with chopped pine nuts and fresh parsley. Serve immediately while warm.
